| From "Love Poems" (1935) | Link to further information |
The seed-time of this lovely life,
So long, so long ago;
Before it grew and came to flower -
No man shall ever know.
How long it lay within this Earth,
We shall not understand;
We can but guess from whence it came,
And Bless the Vanished Hand.
We’ll never know the seed, my Love,
But here’s a life in flower -
To kiss and smell, and call it sweet
A thousand years and more!
